I shall miss Nick's jousts with Boris. Both potential new Mayors have zero charisma.

I'm pleasantly surprised that LBC seems to be going as big on this year's London election results as they did when they were a London-only station in 2012, with coverage from City Hall from 4pm.
They could easily have bumped the coverage off to LBC London News, but it's good to see they're staying loyal to their London listeners and aren't afraid of coming across as London-centric to listeners outside the capital. |

Shame that he is going to lose his holiday cover, during the week, though
![]() I enjoy KH's radio persona - but would prefer her doing day-time cover - or, take over for the very, very bland Shelagh ![]() I lived in London for many a year- and am looking forward to discovering the identity of the new London mayor. Not until tonight, though !! Happy weekend to you all x |

JO'B has spent an hour patronising the very ernest Corbynite callers. He has now turned to Boris !!
I doubt if he will be so gentle, this hour ![]() ![]() This man's ego has no bounds.....JO'B not Boris

JOB sounds very disappointed that Corbyn is still safe for now. He doesn't believe the press have been at him worse than Milliband. The gutter right wing press certainly had their say about Corbyn..

That's true. It will be interesting to see how KH deals with a night-time show. It seems a natural home for someone like Nick Abbot, not sure KH will be the same.

I enjoy her show but she is a bit strident for that slot. We'll have to see.

That's a nice link. Thanks gs. Looks like leafy Ealing is heading towards Labour in both votes. Always knew that the fine folk of Ealing had their heads and hearts in the right place

Almost as depressing for me as it must be for you to see the Tories on the march in Scotland.

When the Tories are the government in Scotland that's when I will worry! BTW the Tory leader in Scotland, Ruth Davidson is a highly likable and clever woman who appeals to a wide range of folk. Good choice for the Tory top job when Cameron slings his hook.

She's great. They are hoping to get her into a safe seat as we speak! She'll be the first lesbian PM!
![]() Just heard Andrew Castle on Sky news describe her as amother Tory blonde bombshell, only thing wrong with that is Ruth is brunette and never blonde. Typical LBC Tory nonsense

Excellent coverage and up to the minute reporting on LBC during Ian Dales gig. Must be tough for this wee Tory boy having to report on a Labour win in London, a total reversal on the school academy idea and the news that several police forces are going to court over Tory spending allegations at the GE.
Oh and now Farage is on, hark at him saying UKIP is rock solid all over the UK! Dear Nigel must have not seen the results from Scotland. |

We won't see Sadiq Khan stuck on zip wire or cycling etc. He'll be a different character compared to Boris

Nick Ferrari tells a woman to just let children get on with being totally engrossed in their iPads. He says that when the children eventually want to talk she should pick up a Newspaper, pretend she is reading it......and just ignore them.

More Muslim bashing from NF. Dog whistle radio.
Quote:
Interesting conversation between Nick Ferrari and Alisdair Roxburgh from Save the Children. Every time Nick brought up the question of security checks on the "children" he did not have an answer. All Roxburgh would say is "we need to ensure that these children have a safe environment." Another example of a person with a script and when asked something not in the script, he is stumped.
Cracking show this morning with a fair selection of views aired. Quote:
Yes I think you are right, I thought Nick handled it well. The poor old woman just felt excluded and Nick gave her a light-hearted solution. Some presenters would have been sighing and pontificating endlessly.

I'm very happy that Sadiq Khan has been elected Mayor of London. This is a victory for honest campaigning, for fair politics, for Muslims and for Labour. Zac Goldsmith ran a dirty, often morally repugnant campaign and tried to stir up racial prejudices in order to win. Khan didn't let that get to him and didn't try to fight back or turn it an important vote into a grudge match and the voters respected him for that. Khan's campaign was all about his ideas for London and he didn't retaliate when people tried to smear him.
This vote shows that as a country we have come very far because Khan is not just the first Muslim mayor, he is the first black Mayor, which shows that people will vote for a decent man with good ideas over a multimillionaire alleged racist, regardless of the skin colour or religion of the candidates. I believe London will have a better future with Sadiq Khan in charge. |

I wish him every success. |

I'm gutted that Sir Lord Nick Abbot has been bounced due to the goings on at City Hall.
Why on Earth does it take so long to count votes in London Mayoral Elections? |
